3/4/2024 stream
Today’s stream marked the beginning of the playoffs, and so we began with Maine vs. St. Louis. Maine definitely came into this the favored team, and 2 goals in the first period they certainly earned that respect. To the Scarecrows’ credit they avoided a shutout loss with a goal in the second period, Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep up in the end. Final score: 1-9,
The second game took place between Vancouver and Detroit. The Whalers started off strong with a goal in the first few minutes, but Detroit quickly took the lead afterwards. While the rest of the game felt tense, the lead stayed with the Falcons til the end. Final score: 2-5,
Next came Regina and Nevada. I’ll admit that my loyalties this playoff season lie with Regina, since they beat us Grizzlies out of the playoffs and if they won the championship that would take some of the sting out of it. Like their mascots, these teams locked horns in a ferocious back and forth that saw Regina pull out the win in the 3rd period. Final score: 4-6,
The final game before intermission was Carolina vs. Anchorage. This game didn’t have a clear winner beforehand, with many predictions I saw being split between these two teams. The two teams certainly seemed evenly matched, with only 1 goal in the first period. Without a lead of more than 1 point throughout the game, the Krakens take it in the final 30 seconds. Final score: 4-3,
